Insane Asylum, now building at Boil

agreeable tcenery, and being easily
accessible by railroad transportation. !"
Alter examination OF other similar
institutions, the plans for the ediiice
INCLUDE every eligible improvement.
That there may be ample space for all
the patients likely to be received, the
building will be of an extent that
will require an important add.

priated. The Governor recommends
that ample appropriation be granted,
to make the asylum all that is re-.

They find good many men who op-
posed the bill last year now annoupc'
ing themselves in favor OF it. Their
pan is to fix date about the 10th
or 25th of the present month for
consideration OF the bill. Congressman
Martin, of Alabama, who is one
of the most earnest advocates of the
measure, was in high elee over the
prospect yesterday. "Our canvass
Shows" he said, that there are votes
enough in favor of the bill in the
House to ceItsiuiy secure its pas cage,
and don't think there ia any doubt
OF its getting through in this session.
The bill, you know, has already
passed the Senate, and l think we
shall be abe to make it a Jaw before
the 4th of March,"
Mr.. CoX's CONDITION IMPROVED.
At O'Clock this evening DR.. Bliss
reported Representative Cox's condi-
ton IS considerably improves since

"and while he il by no means out Of

THE HYEHAs AT MRS. LINCOLN's
GRAVE

a few years ago Mrs. Lircoln died.
Respect for the memory OF her bus
band, President Lircolo, II nothing
else, should have permitted her name
to repose in the charity OF oblivion.
But in order TO get up Sensational
article for the ensltional newspapers,
Gen. Adam Badesu, a pennY-a-liner,
drags the remains Of Mre. Lincoln
from the grave aud holds her up to
the world as q virago, a nuisance t.
her husband, Gen. Grant and his
wife, to army officers, members Of the
Cabinet and everybody generally.
The Northern papers are publishing
Badeau's petty scandals about the
poor unfortunate woman, but the
Southern press severely ignores
such atrocious literature. Mrs.
Lincoln may have had her frailtles
and eocentiicitiee, but they were
buried with her in the grave, and
should never have been dragged be.
fore the public. The maxim that con.
corning the dead nothing but coed
shall be said ought to have allowed
her imptrfections, along with herself,
to be buried in The pact, particularly
as no possible good can be subserVed
by digging them up. Tenderness for
the dead woman's memory and con.
sideraiion for the family she left be-
hind should have eaved the recital OF
her alterations now. She is dead
and unable to speak for herself, and
her family cannot BIZ forced to make
her public defence in the newspapers.
But Bsdeau, the hyena who has
dragged her remains from the grave,
goes into the history of her ! 70, makes
her a termagsnt and gives Incl
dents TO prove it, which in
other women would have been re-
garded as accomplishments. b.
deau closes his infamous TRADE
against the dead woman as follows:
"The next heard OF the poor woman
was the scandal Of the courts OF Chi.
csgo, when tho TACT was made clear
that she was insane. 1t was a great
relief to me to learn it, and doubtless
the disclosure OF the secret which her
son must have longeuspetted-though,
like the Spartan boy, he cloaked his
pain-was 10 him a sort Of terrible sat-
isfdction. 1t vindicated his conduct;
1t told for bin what he had concealed;
1t proved him a worthy son OF that
great father who slso bore his fate so
heroically." This is adding insult to
injury. Badeau knew he was stabbing
Robert lincoln TO the heart in telling
the story Of his mothers eCcentricities,
and then he has the impudencs to at
tempt to poultice the wounds with the
most disgusting flattery.
